All I keep thinking of this July 4th is the year Zoe ate an eight pack of hamburger buns and swelled up like a balloon:rolleyes::rolleyes:
We had left the house to pickup my Mom. OMG was Zoe sick after that. Hamburger buns not good for IBD!!!
That was my first summer here on the forum I think.
I also realized I think I have to give Zoe the credit for Koko being so well behaved. She trained him, more than I did. She always trained other dogs. I remember dogsitting my boss's pug. Bella was biting at the leash as I tried to leash her up to take her back home and just being naughty. Boy, did Zoe tell Bella off and Bella just stopped biting the leash, sat down and behaved.
LOL, Zoe girl. You ran the house.
Love you more than I can say.
Zoe will always rule,now from heaven.

Darling baby girl, I cant stop thinking about you today. You are on my mind and I am missing you so badly. Papa says we are so lucky to have shared our lives with you and so lucky to have the memories.
It still hurts thought, Zozo. To have loved you so deeply and so simply, how it could it not hurt losing you?
I think your brother's dental is a bit of a worry though I don't feel worried; it must be deep within me. I know you will watch over him for me. You taught him so well, Zoe. You should be so proud. He is such a good boy. Thank you darling, for that.
Mama loves her little girl, miss you so much, love you more.
Big hugs Addy. :p. They leave such huge holes in our hearts. With a love so pure, how can it be any other way? :o
Little Miss Zoe, I miss potatoes at the bathroom door and your adorable chicken walk. You mom is so proud of you little one. You were always so brave. Please send her a sign when you get a chance. She loves it when you stop by. Xxxxxx
Love and hugs
Sonja and Angel Apollo
That song from Les Miz keeps playing through my head only "he" is replaced with "she spent a summer by my side" and I remember back to that first summer when I had you on a long lead tied to my waist; I remember Zoe Day and long car rides and new places for you to discover. I remember Zoe's school, Zoe's park, everything was yours, my darling.
And now this summer, you are not by my side, nor filling my days with endless wonder. Today for some reason, is really hard and mama cant stop crying. Koko's birthday is in a few days and you are not here.
I miss you going argggg and rubbing the walls, making me laugh, I miss your head in my oatmeal bowl, I miss you waking me up at 5am, such a happy girl waiting to start her day. I miss your smell and Bark Fest, I just miss everything about you and our life together.
I came here today, my darling, to hold you close to my heart. Zoe, what happened at the end, I did not know any more tricks to pull out of the hat and I could not bear to keep seeing you suffer. My heart screamed that day not to leave you at the ER. For the rest of my life, I will regret that I did not follow my heart and bring you home to me. Mama is so sorry.
I love you, baby girl,
Zoe was lucky that she picked you as an owner. You went above and beyond and at the end gave her freedom from suffering. I know how hard it is but you did all you could.
No Robert, we were the blessed ones to have them in our lives.:p
Addy wasn't Zoe's owner. Zoe wasn't owned by anyone. She was her own little self. ;) Addy was Zoe's mom. They had each other, which was the true blessing.:)
Darling, how could it be six months have passed without you by my side?
Your light made the sky bluer, the breeze softer, the wind warmer.Your light made me laugh, love - feel things so deeply. Life continues on, my precious, but that light that was blown out, means things are not quite as bright, nor as beautiful.
Life without you is just a bit harder, darling, not as bright, not as happy, not as complete.
I love you forever, will never forget you.
My darling Zoe. Thank you for sharing a bit of my life.
Always- forever
mom

My darling Zoe,
Today I removed the very last of all things "Zoe" from the kitchen, replacing your 3 quilts with one of Koko's beds. Except for the gate and Koko's bed, the kitchen now looks like it did when you first came home and I am finding great comfort in that. It is not that I don't want to remember the bad times, it is just hard not to cry when I do. I want to celebrate your life, precious girl, as you did every single day.
Mama loves you Zozo. As I went through the house, cleaning up after all the months of neglect, I kept finding things of yours, stuck in a book, on a shelf. I put my heart and soul into loving you and trying to be the best mom I could. Thank you for putting up with all my mistakes.
Somehow, this frenzy of cleaning has helped cleanse me as well. It is easier now to picture you, running up and down the hall.
Only one face at the door now,
Only one head in the oatmeal bowl
Only one pup in the kitchen
Only one heart beating
Only one breath going in and out
Zoe always in my heart and soul, always in my memory
Only one pup now, only one pup.
I love you.
(((((((Hugs)))))))
Ditto HUGS!
love, sharlene

Sonja, I am also having a very hard time missing Daisy Mae of late. In 8 days she will have turned 11 years old. I want to help another dog in need but wonder if it will be possible to love them as much as I do Daisy Mae?
Hugs.
Celebrate her birthday with a candle. Each dog is different,each love is different.

Darling Zoe, remember when I taught you 'leave it"? I would tell you down and stay then put a piece of chicken between your paws and tell you to leave it. It was always so traumatic for you- you always had to turn your head sideways to not look at the chicken. I would laugh so hard at the look on your face and give in to you, telling you to "take it"
Your brother just did almost the same thing,not quite as cute and dramatic as you, but then you always had a flare for everything; my little girl with the big personality.
I just had to tell you what your brother did, Zozo. I love my sweet girl forever and always. Never forgotten, always loved.
Addy, that is so cute! Daisy reacted like I was torturing her when I asked her to lay down and stay. Sometimes she let out this long, drawn out sigh which was hilarious.
Like you, I see some similarities between Bella and Daisy. It's comforting, isn't it? Hugs,
Addy,
Loved reading your posts to, and about, Zoe. It is so hard to believe it has been over 6 months since we lost our beautiful girls. It is still hard and I know it always will be - they definitely took a piece of each of us with them.
Love hearing about Koko now, too. Our boys are special in their own rights! ;)
Sending hugs to you and Koko!
Hugs to my sister warrior. Our sweet Zoe.
Sonja
My dearest Sister Addy,
I sent you a message to let you know I'm here.....
Your stories and words are beautiful for your Miss Zoe.
Days turn into months which turn into years, and I still think about Miss Maddie. Of course, having Miss Ella reminds me of how much I miss my calm Maddie. Ella does help keep my mind busy training her and laughing at her antics. So enjoy Mr. Koko he will help you heal.
Hang in there my sister, it does get better, but it takes time......
((((((HUGS)))))))
Hugs and heart to all of you. I have been down and out with a nasty respiratory bug which I thought was allergies, then sinus infection but it has seemed to now have settled in my chest and I cant stop coughing. It has been a long time since I have felt this bad and am eyeing up Zoe's bottle of prednisone as I think my asthma is making me wheeze.
Darling Zoe, Daddy and I were talking to day after another realtor came over to assess the house. I was feeling rather down and out because the house has not recouped as much of it's value as we had hoped. But it got Daddy and I to talking about our time spent living here.
When I first looked into the windows of this old, wreck of a home, I felt this uncanny sense of having been here before, perhaps in another life, I did not know, but I knew this house and I could feel a sense of needing to be here because I had been once before.
The first day we brought you home, you became so excited as we turned down our street and wound our way to this home. You cried and cried and you were so animated and excited after being so quiet.
You pranced in the front door and ran around the house in pure delight and it was from that first day as if you had always been here, had always lived here.
Daddy and I decided that we were meant to have met here, have our lives intertwined here, become one heart here.
And so we did, my little girl, the love of my life. So I cant regret my push to buy this rickety old place. Because if I had not, I would not have had you.
Love you more every day.
So beautifully said.
Hugs Sonja
My dearest Sister Addy,
You write so beautifully!:) It's from the heart and soul of life with your family. You bless us all with the warmth of "home"!:). I picture Miss Zoe running around checking everything out making sure "her home" was safe and hers!
Love you!! <3
Hi, sweetheart-
Tomorrow is surgery day and I'm up at all hours trying to get things in order, as always.
I just caught up on this thread and want you to know your writings to Zoe warm my heart. It seems like way more than 6 months and yet how can it even be six months?
I've been thinking of Palmer lately-there must be something in the air....it seems many are thinking of loved ones that are gone.
I just wanted to send you a huge hug and touch base before I become an invalid again. Keep that pink bubble wrap handy!
Isn't it GREAT hearing from sister Marie Irene??!! :D:D:):):) I guess it is time to get out our sweaters. I have a new navy blue one that I like a lot.
Hugs to you and Koko......and remembering Miss Zoe. Get well soon!
Love,
Sus
Good Morning Sister Addy,
Sending (((((HUGS))))) for the weekend! Time goes by faster than we realize sometimes-6 months, I remember by that time Miss Ella had come into our lives adding stress and missing Maddie more because there wasn't a calm dog around.
Even now at over 3 years I have moments like when my niece called Ella Maddie and it brought back a moment when I told her that one Christmas this would be the last time she saw Maddie. :(.
Your stories of Miss Zoe are such good memories and that is what keeps us going! Good Thoughts!:)
Maybe Mom can knit us all new sweaters while she is healing.....:o)
Put the doggy prednisone down girl :D:D:D so sorry to hear you have been sick Addy and hope you have turned the corner by now! I have not feeling too well myself but that may just be a reaction to going back to work after nearly 6 weeks off!! But popping in to wish you a Happy Friday and hope you have a nice weekend!! The tulips have been and gone, now the trees are getting all their leaves back and it is warming up... just not today as it is blowing a gale!! Not long till our Chicago test match!! Doesn't look like I am going to make it, but maybe if you get it on your TV we can watch it together!!! xx
Daddy and I watched figure skating the other night. A skater performed to a song from Phantom of the Opera.
"Wishing you were somehow here again". Darling I can not stop the phrase from playing in my head and I cry and cry because soon it will be time to remember your decline and I am trying so hard to remember you as you were most of your life, so large and enjoying every minute to the fullest, no matter what.
My precious Zoe, wishing you were somehow here again, wishing you were here with me. Since it cannot be, wait for me around the bend, play and frolic until we meet and journey on.
She is but away until we can meet again.
Love you bunches
mom
Beautifully said.
Sonja,Apollo and Ariel
So sweet!!!
Hi Addy-
I am still experiencing the losses of Peaches and Palmer. Palmer is 3+ years ago and Peaches is probably 18 or so years ago.
In my work room, I have two picture collages. One is of Peaches...I put it together after we lost her. I had enough holes almost to do one picture for each of her years. The other collage Ryan made for me...of Palmer. There are only 10 spaces on that one, but the pictures Ryan selected are so typical of Palmer. There are even two pictures of him with his huge yellow duck with the orange beek. Last night I had trouble going to sleep. I had some of the restless leg issue. At one point I was considering coming up and getting Palmer's duck. I went to bed with it for so long after he left.
They burrow deep into our hearts into the most remote corners. While I miss them still so much, I find it's unusual for the "bad" memories/moments to come to mind. There are several happy pictures with both dogs which seem to be etched into my mind. It's almost like getting a chance to visit with them again. I am so grateful for having had their experiences, for having them in my life, for their love for me and mine for them. At times my dogs made my life bearable. And it continues now with Bailey. I wish she had straight hair, as the other two did, I wish she had all of her tail, as she was supposed to, I wish she didn't bark so much at such a high pitch. Then she comes up to me and gently paws my arm two or three times. She looks at me with those soulful eyes and with that tiny little tail wagging. She melts my heart. She knows how to get to me so I will pick her up for another while.
We are so very blessed.
Love,
Sus
so very sorry for your heartbreak addy .... the hardest part of loving our furbabies... xoxox patty(milo)meka :(
Thank you all. With all the stress in my life, my darling Zoe always made me laugh because she was so engaging. That bright light of hers lit up my life in a way no one else could. I truly miss that, I miss laughing and I miss at times the overwhelming sense of love for her which warmed my soul.
I will forever be grateful to Zoe for sharing my life and teaching me so much.
And I will forever love her and miss her.
Thinking of you and our darling Zoe.
Me too, think of her and let her memories warm your soul again, hugs!
Thinking of you and sweet Zoe.
Hugs Sonja
Thank you for thinking of us. I am still sick with this unrelenting cough. Asthma drugs made me sicker:(:o
Makes it hard.
